poll, showing romney up five nationally. in the battleground states. it is the battle ground poll is the name of it, a national poll, if those polls are correct, it is difficult to imagine that ohio would be that different. ohio has closely tracked the national outcome since 1960. it is certainly true and worth noting that mitt romney does not now lead in a single ohio poll. but i can't believe that national poll wouldn't tell you something about how iowa will go if the polls are correct. >>juan: the moment is stopped. obviously, mitt romney hat momentum after the first debate but what we are looking at if you just, say, forget the complexity we can hear, romney has never led in ohio or nevada, wisconsin, iowa, never. so what you get here is a situation where at the moment he is trying to perpetuate the momentum by coming on with the argument that he is moderate mitt. it is tick or treat for the halloween season, what is the real mitt but he wants to be, that is the drive he is making for the few voters that remain. he is no

since then romney has dropped in the polls. if you look at the clear politics average of polls, romney has gone from about leading boo i a point and now barack obama last i looked earlier today was up by 0.3, 0.4. usually what happens to momentum is a number of things happen that take the race away from where it fundamentally is. a very close race becomes a three or four-point lead for obama or two or three-point lead for romney. before the media registers this is of a real thing, we begin calling it momentum. whatever run of good luck or unusual news or a very bad debate was happening and distorting the fundamental nature of the race has ended and the race pulls back to where it was originally which is a very close election with a persistent lead for president obama in swing states. that's exactly what you're seeing here. so my advice to partisans is when people begin calling momentum on their candidate, be prepared for things to be about to turn around in the polls. >> lastly, if i can, ezra, on a different topic, your hero a
